Nationwide, 49% of fatal crashes happen at night
Doesn’t that mean that 51% of fatal crashes happen during the day?
I think the point may be that people do a lot less driving during the night and so 49% means that per-mile or per-trip, night driving is a lot riskier.
Also, I imagine that ‘night’ (‘when it’s dark out’), is often less than 12 hours of a 24 hour period.
Wouldn’t it pretty much have to be half on average?
I really want to see a multivariate analysis. Is this due to the dark, or due to alcohol?
